Very kind of you Aaron. We gave away a huge cattleya, similar in color, the same way to a newbie grower, but it did not make it. Our friend killed it with love (the liquid kind). When next we saw it, it was shrivled up and only had a couple of leaves and they were in bad condition. She gave up and now only grows phals. Lol.

Here is a photo of the night we gave it to her: (and yes, it was a few years ago.... - we looked like kids!)
